Is Day care beneficial for children under the age of five?

          When you were a child , who takes care of you? In my case, i was taken care at home by my mother as that time the cost of living was not that high but now, the cost of living is so high that everyone at home has to work to earn their living. After marriage,the couple faces difficult decision about babies while they are establishing careers. Their decision is very tough whether they should continue working or not. If so, who will take care of their child.  So, day care is a good choice for parents who both work, because they want to continue with their careers.

         The first reason that day care is beneficial is that parents can go to work and earn more money. If parents do not use daycare and if they go to work with their children, they will have to take care of the children. Many companies nowadays provide daycare centers at their company for working parents who have young children in order to avoid this situation, so parents can continue working for their child's future. Sometimes one of the parents decide to stop working so that they can take care of their child. As a result, they, the family earning reduced to the half and due to this there will be lack of many things for children such as family vacations, tutorial lessons or children music/dance lessons etc.         
         The second reason is day care can offer some social and educational advantages for parents and children alike, as long as the daycare providers focus on education and healthy development. Child care centers are benificial and help a child’s development, prepare a child for school, and create positive life pattern. Child’s development is important so in day care centers, they learn social skills and gain education at an early age. It is said that children’s brains grow faster during the first five years of their life. At day care center children learn how to express themself, their feelings and the ways of communications. So it is important that child can learn and increase the ability to express.

        In others opinion, child care centers may not beneficial as their child may not get attention which they will get from their parents at home.This kind of opinion makes sense.However, on the other hand the care takers there work under experienced supervisors and were observed always and on the top the care takers were paid to take care of the child. Nobody want to loose their job just for unprofesionalism.
            In conclusion, day care centers are the best options for the kids so that they can learn social skills and the ability to understand things. Sending your loving kid to day care center doesn't mean that you are bad parents, however the parents should be proud that they are doing good for their child.
